Air Conditioning for Schools in London

Hot classrooms make it harder to teach and harder to learn. Nibiru Cooling installs air conditioning in schools, and our team has already completed school projects across the local area through our sister company, 21 Degrees Heating.

Why classroom temperature matters

Research suggests that children learning in classrooms where the average maximum temperature is above 30°C are significantly more likely to fall behind on basic literacy and numeracy milestones than pupils in cooler classrooms.

With longer, hotter summers becoming the norm rather than the exception, overheating is no longer a problem for the odd week in July.

Councils are changing their position

Councils have historically favoured renewable heating and cooling over air conditioning in schools. As the evidence on heat and learning grows, that position is shifting, and more councils are now approving air conditioning in educational settings.

We’re well placed to support that shift, from the first survey through to installation and maintenance.

Our experience

Air conditioning already installed in local schools

Through 21 Degrees Heating, our team has installed wall-mounted split systems in classrooms and other rooms at local schools, with outdoor units placed neatly at ground level and on flat roofs.

Frequently asked questions

Can the installation happen during the school holidays?

We plan the work around your school timetable. We will agree the timing with you at the survey stage, including holiday periods if that suits you best.

Is classroom air conditioning noisy?

Modern indoor units are designed to run quietly. We recommend units and positions that keep noise in the classroom to a minimum.

Can you help with a funding or council application?

Funding routes vary between councils and types of school. We can provide a detailed, fixed quote to support your application.

Do you also maintain school systems?

Yes. We offer servicing and maintenance, planned so systems are ready before the summer term.
